'.IOy ALL WHOM IT MAY CON CERN:

Beit known that I, JOHN M. DEITz, of Berne, in the county of Albany, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and luseful Improvements in Building Brick Walls; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description of the construction of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part oi' this specification, in which- Figure 1 is an isometrical perspective view.

Figure 2, a horizontal plan of the same.

Figure 3, a vertical section ot' wall.

The object of thisiinvention is to combine brick and concrete,'in the building of walls, in such a manner as to make a strong and durable wall, and to cheapen the' expense of the same, by the saving in the number of bricks used.

I will proceed to describe the construction of walls according to my improved mode.

In the accompanying drawings, similar letters of reference refer to corresponding parts in the several iigures.

The foundation having been laid, I lay thereon one course of brick, H, transversely to the course of .thcV

wall, and upon that, another course longitudinally to said course of wall, and so on for three courses, or more, if foundgpracticable, and then another transverse course of headers.

After laying up a few courses of. brick, I place a guide-board, D, inside the courses of brick, and at a. distance therefrom equal to the required thickness of the Wall, which board is heldin place by the stanchions P P P' and braces b b Zw.

The space between the board D and the brick is then illed with soft concrete, C, to the height of the last course of brick. A courseof headers is then laid with the inside end restin u on the concrete.

i g P When the concrete is set, or becomes sufficiently rigid to retain its form, the guide-board is raised till its lower edges are nearly as high as the upper surface of the concrete, and a few more courses of brick are laid, as before, so as to receive another layer of concrete. This process is carried on till the wall is as high as desired.

In order to form a square corner where the wall turns, the s tanchion P is provided with .the cleat s, placed on the inside, so as to allow the end. of the guide-board D to come square against the stanchion P; and in order to loosen the guide-board, when it is desired to raise it, I place between the stanchions P P and the guide-board D the small thin strips W W, which may be readily removed, and thus the board loosened.

Having thus described my improved mode of building, what I claim as my invention, and' desire to secure by Letters Patent, i s- In the construction of walls composed of brick and concrete, the combination and arrangement of the bricks B B and H H, concrete C, stanchions P P P, braces b 5 b, cleats W W and s, and guide-board D, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth. y
